There is a Macathena cluster on campus in building 26 with the video editing software (super fancy) final cut pro X installed. perfect!

Well, some hitches. I had to backup everything off my external hard drive and format it to be some special Mac format, otherwise the hard drive appears as read only on the Mac computers. http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25066

What the heck is with the different import formats?Looks like for best quality, since I have plenty of hard drive space, I should go with “optimize” checked (but I can also check proxy media at the same time? What does that do? Mostly I want to know the effect on the final output and the effect on how long I have to spend waiting on the spinning cursor…)http://www.larryjordan.biz/media-in-fcp-x/
